Students at Yale University can now change their registered gender status to “non-binary” through the school’s Student Information System.

Yale University announced through an email that students can now register to identify their gender as “non-binary,” as a result of policy changes for the school regarding transgender individuals on campus, according to the Yale Daily News. Students can log on to the school’s Student Information System and choose from three gender choices: “M” for male, “F” for female, or “N” for nonbinary.

The new policy is in response to a petition, launched in November, from Yale’s LGBT community to President Peter Salovey. The petition called on the university to offer more rights for transgender students at Yale. The petition came in the wake of the Department of Health and Human Services’ plans to change the rules of Title IX to refer to gender as an unchangeable trait.

Including the nonbinary gender option, according to Dean of Yale College Marvin Chun, is being utilized for Yale and the technology at the school “catch up with current understanding and practice of gender,” according to the Yale Daily News. But some students voiced concerns about not removing any reference to the gender binary.

I’m surprised some goofy Title IX administrator hasn’t decided that their college should only admit males who have been castrated, so that they will be less “threatening” to women. That would also eliminate “toxic masculinity.” Many colleges already castrate the boys mentally and emotionally, so that would be a small step for them to take.

No wonder boys are avoiding colleges in droves, with the girls outnumbering the boys by 57% to 43%. Colleges have become very unfriendly places for boys.
